The lateral lemniscus is a tract of axons in the brainstem that carries information about sound from the cochlear nucleus to various brainstem nuclei and ultimately the contralateral inferior colliculus of the midbrain.
This observation shows that a unilateral lesion of the laterallemniscus can produce auditory symptoms.

We report a unilateral lesion of the laterallemniscus by a bleeding in a cavernoma.

The ventral nuclei of the laterallemniscus (VNLL) are part of the central auditory system thought to participate in temporal sound processing.

Isolated lesions of the inferior colliculus have previously been reported, whereas no detailed description of a localized involvement of the laterallemniscus is yet available.
